Aveley Secondary College

I went to ASC for the entirety of years 7-9 and decided to leave half way through year 10. i was being severely bullied by many students and it felt as though the teachers wanted part in that too. Despite the teachers knowing I suffer with my mental health, they would go out of their way to shame me and often get mad at me when I was having an off day. Shouldn’t they want to help?? I am now in year 12 at another local school and I am doing SO much better. The teachers are amazing and student services are actually accommodating. Im completing a certificate 2 and have over 100 hours of workplace learning, something ASC couldn’t even offer. & the school wonders why so many people, including teachers, leave. I would never recommend this school to anyone, going to ASC made me question my worth and something much more valuable. Dont even get me started on the teaching methods this school uses. Most the teachers at this school need to be fired ASAP. It’s ridiculous how they too, can be your biggest bully AND some of the most slow people ever.

Worst school I’ve ever been to.

Can’t use the bathroom at all. Locks are all broken and haven't been fixed for months. Students constantly vaping in the bathrooms. Teachers only allow for two-five minutes to get to class and don’t allow students to go to the bathroom during class. Canteen food is overpriced and not worth the money. Principal doesn’t really care about the students and acts like he does. I was refused from dropping Methods ATAR because I “should have been more committed and I should just try harder” even though I was failing and ruined my mental health. Teachers care more about wrong socks than kids mental health. No support systems in place for students. EDI’s are not helpful in learning. School cares more about appearances than students learning. School has NO with ATAR and lacks communication with students and parents. Year 11 and 12 students are referred to as “the guinea pigs” for designing new courses.

i dont like asc they dont let us express our culture for example for lgbtqia’s days they have full on speakers and set up and whole lil thingy but for harmony day or multicultural day we have to write a letter to a teacher that has nothing to do with multiculturalism we had to set up our own multicultural day at first teachers didnt like it but they had to bcs we didnt let them stop us from expressing our culture and the teachers dont care about our well-being all we do is learn learn and learn we never get breaks after tests we do more topics they need to understand we arent robots and we get in trouble for anything and everything for no reason too it be over the dumbest things like u were late to school or ur socks and major problems like racism gets ignored and when we take things into our own hands its a “problem” if the school started to step up and be a better school and environment then they wont have as many students not showing up or leaving the school,

I got bullied it took to long for them too help me but the food is a 10/10

They lock up the toilets cause why not and they do not care about student wellbeing and all they care about is if they are their and wearing the right coloured sock. I’m English instead of learning how to write and spell better for the student who need it they sit and read then write shit abt what they read and the teachers think thta thier doing amazing when they are rlly doing shit.

Most teachers at the school are great however the office is very poor. I’ve had many run ins with them not doing their job properly and have had to email the principle multiple times including 1 meeting for an apology on behalf of the office staffs behaviour. I would never send any of my family’s kids there
